haha duuude, uvic parties are dam fun. i went and visited a friend there for a weekend this year, and holly shit sooo many hot girls. like not kidding 3 to 1 ratio. I visited helmken res incase anyone cares. never been to parties at ubc so i dunno but i hear they arent nearly as good as uvic. I know people that go to everyschool around this area, and uvics overal a great school to go to. but ya it also depends what you want to take...
